We end this incredible week with the announcement of Albert the Alien volume 1: New in School launching on Comixology (can you tell I uploaded these in a relatively close order?). This volume was nominated for a Harvey Award for BEST ONLINE COMIC in 2015, and Gabe and I couldn’t be more proud of this project.

Albert the Alien is just a normal everyday kid…from another planet! He’s come to Earth to learn about humans as the first intergalactic foreign exchange student. And when Albert’s involved, even the ordinary becomes extraordinary!

When Albert first arrives in school, items start going missing from the students’ lockers – and the school bully blames the new alien kid. With the help of his new friends, Albert must solve the mystery of the locker thefts and prove his innocence!

Overcoming giant alien mecha school supply monsters, alien jello blobs with a taste for humans, and the government agents sent to keep an eye on him, Albert’s first week in school on Earth is anything but ordinary!

During a hall monitor meeting, Gerty Greyson – Albert’s homestay sister – notices the rest of the kids acting strangely. Turns out they are being controlled by an alien headpiece that turns them into zombies! Gerty and Albert must find out who is brainwashing the students and save them from the diabolical force – and at the same time, solve the mystery of the school locker thefts!

During an astronomy project, the kids discover a large UFO headed towards Earth. If it hits, it will destroy the planet. Upon learning of this object, however, the US government panics and sends in their specialists who are suspicious of Albert, and everything not human. Getting ready to say goodbye to everyone and everything they’ve ever known, the kids prepare for the end of all life on our planet. However, at the last possible second, Albert finally gets a glimpse of the object – and what is coming is so much worse than anything the kids could have expected.

During lunch, Albert’s favorite alien snack starts eating the kids lunches – and all of the food in the school. The more it eats, the larger it gets until it’s too big to be contained by the building. Can Albert and his friends save their school before the end of their lunch break?

CHAPTER 1:
Albert’s is just an ordinary everyday kid – from another planet! On Albert’s first day of school, his alien school supplies attempt to conquer our educational system. Lead by the nefarious Laser Pen, they eventually form into a mechanized alien school supply monster! Can Albert and his new friends figure out how to defeat them and save their school?

My latest story, LOS OJOS, is being collected in a graphic novel that will be available at your local comic store! Artwork by Francesco Iaquinta. It will be collected with several awesome stories from creators, including my pal Russell Lissau, from publisher Pop! Goes the Icon.
